Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I know that Norm MacDonald and Jim Downey (the writer who worked with him the most on Weekend Update for SNL) had a thing where they thought the perfect joke had to be one where the setup and the punchline were the same thing.
This kind of reminds me of that sort of joke.
For an example from Weekend Update, here's one joke that he presented:
"Julia Roberts told reporters this week that her marriage to Lyle Lovett has been over for some time. The key moment she said came when she realized that she was Julia Roberts, and that she was married to Lyle Lovett."
Lyle isn't the most handsome guy, but his music is great
Maybe he should have kept his hand off Mary Chapin Carpenter's thigh.
